Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hold me down, hold me down, hold me down (hold me down)
Hold it down, hold it down, hold it down (ooh-ooh)
Hold me down, hold me down, hold me down (hold me down)
I can drop a bag on his head without a single word
Real gangsters move in silence, yeah, that′s what I heard
Livin' fast, spendin′ fast, get it right back, fuck what you heard (yah)
I been in my bag, they wanna kill my mojo
For the birds, that's who they for
She a pigeon, he a dodo
Pics and photos, that's a no-go
Give ′em gas, no Sunoco
Trap jumpin′, no pogo (yeah, yeah)
Real project baby, don't mistake me baby, I ain′t him (I ain't him)
This a family, not a gang, shawty, we ain′t them (we ain't them)
Go get you some hustle, you a peon, we don′t fuck with them (we don't fuck with them)
I stayed one hundred, still I ended up a dub to them
I go loco 'bout the bro-bro, you know that′s for sure-sure
You just like tha company you keep, real bozos (bozos)
Love, that a no-go
With these hoes, we keep a boatload
We get boatloads for the low-low
Treat the plug like bro, that′s my amigo (ooh-ooh)
Unpredictable, I'm leavin′ 'em with no clue
Different type of nigga, why you trippin′? you knew
I'ma do all I′m supposed to
I need all my money Nipsey Blue
Hold it down, hold it down, hold it down (hold it down)
Hold me down, hold me down, hold me down (hold me down)
Hold it down, hold it down, hold it down (ooh, ooh)
Hold me down, hold me down, hold me down (yeah, yeah)
They know I'm one of a kind
Okay, you bought you a Rollie, still not on my time
You know even if I'm not okay, I′m still gon′ tell you I'm fine
I keep money on my mind
We put that work in overtime
Look at my wrist, look at your own risk
VVS′s leave you blind
Tell 'em I′ll be waitin' on ′em at the finish line
I will not go back when we was starvin'
I give back to the ones who starvin'
Stack or the ones who starvin′
I cannot forgive they way they scarred me, that shit the hardest
I believe I will be rich regardless (ooh-ooh)
I been told niggas that I would go the furthest
I set real goals to be number one charted
How can I settle for gold when I′m a platinum artist?
How did I love you the most when you made love the hardest? (ooh-ooh)
Hold it down, hold it down, hold it down (ooh-ooh)
Hold it down, hold it down, hold it down
Hold it down, hold it down, hold it down
Hold it down, hold it down, hold it down
Hold it down, hold it down, hold it down (hold it down)
Hold me down, hold me down, hold me down (hold me down)
Hold it down, hold it down, hold it down (ooh-ooh)
Hold me down, hold me down, hold me down
Hold me down
Hold me down, hold me down, hold me down
Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy

Stack or the ones who starvin'
Save and accumulate money for those in need
I cannot forgive they way they scarred me, that shit the hardest

I've always said I would be the most successful
I set real goals to be number one charted
I have concrete objectives to reach the top of the charts
How can I settle for gold when I'm a platinum artist?
Why would I be satisfied with less success when I can achieve even greater things?
How did I love you the most when you made love the hardest?
Why did I prioritize loving someone who made it difficult to love them?
Hold me down
Stay by my side and support me
Hold me down, hold me down, hold me down
Support me and never let me go
Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy
